SF Giants Cake

For my friend's husband's birthday, I suggested making a cake and she requested a small and simple one, as we would just be having dinner at a restaurant with a few family members and friends. (Last year, I made him an iPad cake.) I made him a 6-inch chocolate cake covered in vanilla buttercream frosting. I brought back a favorite technique of mine for this cake, the buttercream transfer. It was the easiest way to copy the logo of his favorite baseball team onto it. The fun part was that I purposely picked a chocolate cake in order to fill it with an orange frosting to mimic the team's colors on the inside as well.
